Dashboard (HCX)

Purpose: Use this document as a reference using and customizing the Mobile (HCX) Dashboard in the college Mobile Application.

Audience:  Students.

The Mobile (HCX) Dashboard offers access to several widgets.  Each widget displays pertinent information about a topic that may be of interest to you.  The widget displays even if there is no current information to provide.  Each widget also has a Go to link (looks like an arrow in a box) that allows you to display more information about that topic.  These widgets are displayed on three tabs, General, Academics and Financials.
